Abstract :
In this paper, we have fabricated uniaxially tensile strained In0.33Ga0.47As-OI MOSFETs, for the first time, using a lateral strain relaxation technique. A stripe-like line structure was fabricated from biaxially-strained In0.53Ga0.47As-OI. This structure exhibits the lateral strain relaxation. We have found that μeff in strained In0.53Ga0.47As-OI MOSFETs decreases with a decrease in the gate width (WG) as the mesa width. This mobility behavior can be understood by conduction band minimum (CBM) change due to the lateral strain relaxation.
